It's good to see that a lot of the problems with the first game were fixed. The ending, for one, makes a lot more sense, and I like that you're rewarded for actually *interpreting* clues (though a little instruction on how the leads board works would have been nice). This game feels a lot more like an investigation than the first. If they keep on this trajectory, they might just unseat the reigning champ of police procedurals -- I'm talking about PQ4, of course.
Nice start to, hopefully, a much longer series. The puzzles were very well-integrated - they make sense in the Wonderland context. And nice job setting a mood! I was worried it would be another played-out rehash, but was pleasantly surprised. Brava!
